In answer to your question regarding cave painting, Robot was the name of the dog who discovered the cave paintings at Lascaux (fell into hole and was found barking at the paintings). --Daniel C. Boyer
- does the dog itself really need an article? Woudln't a mention on the Lascaux page be enough? -- Tarquin 20:41 Feb 19, 2003 (UTC)
- Yes, I think a mention on the Lascaux page would be adequate, as Robot didn't really accomplish anything else. --Daniel C. Boyer
Shouldn't this be deleted if more information hasn't been added? Wikipedia is NOT a dictionary. - Kricxjo
- IMHO, no. Cave painting is certainly worthy of an encyclopedia article. Just because this entry is only a few lines long is no reason to delete it; it'll be filled out over time. That's the spirit of Wikipedia. Atorpen 17:34 Feb 22, 2003 (UTC)
Oldest multimedia? According to a recent article in the Wall Street Journal almost all such prehistoric decorations, both cave paintings and ancient rock paintings in the American West, are located where there is some unusual echo or other sound effect. Sorry I don't have the citation, but maybe someone else well know more about it and can add something. Ortolan88
- Does anybody know any details about the stone hand axe found in a Spanish cave that's on display in New York right now? It was supposedly found in the largest grouping of hominid fossils (Home heidelbergensis) ever found. -- Zoe
